I have just written a little article on Wikipedia about the Umbani glide bomb.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denel_Dynamics_Umbani
I'd like to know what you guys and gals think of it before other Wikipedia editors rip it to shreds!

Useful, probably more or less correct! You know more about this than I do.

But please change the reference title "DefenceWeb - Umbani becomes first SA weapon trailed off Hawk" to "DefenceWeb - Umbani becomes first SA weapon trialled off Hawk". Yes, I know, DefenceWeb got it wrong first.

DefenceWeb will have to fix it first, because citations on Wikipedia must follow the source exactly.
I can tag it with (sic) but that just draws attention to the mistake.

Kremlin has very kindly sent me a few pics - I'll get one into the article as soon as I've figured out the legalities and technicalities.

Sounds logical.

I'd say tag it with (sic) in order to draw attention to a correction which is needed! People do say I'm overly-critical at times, though.
